What role does Pakistan’s extreme weather hot summers and cold winters play in Changan Kalam’s battery performance?

Extreme temperatures can weaken battery health. Is this a major contributor to the issue in different regions like Quetta o r Murree?

Weather is a major factor:

Hot weather above 40°C accelerates electrolyte evaporation and internal corrosion — a major issue in Sindh and Punjab.

Cold starts in winter in regions like Quetta, Murree, Abbottabad require higher cranking amps — weak batteries often fail completely.

Batteries that perform well in one season may fail in the next, especially if aged o r undercharged.
